Was at the Workers Party rally @Serangoon Stadium.
My maiden attendance at rally.
Being KS, me+Laiyeow reached the stadium 6.40pm,
as we kw last rally for Workers Party confirm damn packed.
As expected, the stadium seats were already filled.
On the pitch crowds already swarmed & filled up most of it.
We moved forward, choosing a good position to stand.
Crowds cheered when the rally started,
with occasional shouts from individuals tat made us cracked with laughter.
What a fun nite, wat a fun occasion.
One which united the citizen.
Perhaps being held in a stadium,
it epitomized an important soccer
bringing back fond memories of Spore vs Malaysia match.
Yet this seems more as though
Spore team in World Cup.
Uncles waving the flags,
aunties clapping,
the young shouting the magical 2 words.
Totally spontaneous, from the heart.
Just like what the opposition candidates shared,
while they were going ard the estates,
some residents, after hand shaking,
went back to their homes
and bring out packets of drinks.
Actions tat truely elicit from the heart
can be so magnificent & of such beauty.
The united people shouting the same words,
having the same thoughts,
supporting the same cause.
I was thankful I was there for the rally.
5yrs of waiting if I've missed this.
The trend of going to rallies
even hit on my mum+sis,
who joined us later but were unable to squeeze in.
The chanting frm the crowd,
the passion in their eyes,
what I can say is 'change is in the air'.
On my way out the stadium,
a senior uncle spoke loudly in Hokkien:
" This kind of turn-out,
two stadium also not enuff. "
Then out of the blue,
an aunty retorted:
"5 yrs ago, also like tat,
but they still lost."
Immediately drew few worried faces.
That uncle, as if reading frm the script,
replied immediately:
"If like tat liao still can't win,
then also BOH BIAN LIAO!"
Laughter.
But then again, who knows?
